The premiership-winning fullback said he didn't have any issues with playing in the second tier competition to regain his mojo.

"It was all good, obviously hammies are one of those things that you want to build confidence in and being thrown back in the deep end is pretty daunting, so I could see where 'Greeny' (coach Paul Green) was coming from in that sense," he said.

"It was good to actually go back and get a bit of confidence in the hamstring and in my own game as well."

Given the performance his side put in, Coote rated his own performance as 'acceptable' for his return to the NRL.

He went on to admit that he and his teammates have plenty to work on.

"Things went alright I guess…. I felt comfortable, the lungs were blowing a bit heavy, but that's always going to happen I guess," he said.
